Regular Member Wen-Yi Wu M.D. Posted August 17, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) This 36 y/o Chinese patient received one session FUT of 3456 grafts. It consisted of 1376 grafts one hair follicle; 1790 grafts 2hair follicle and 290 grafts 3 hair follicle. He wanted only one session as much hair as possible covering from frontal area to the vertex. Chinese scalp are basically much tighter than Caucasian scalp and thus it is very difficult to harvest more than 4000 grafts in one session. He came back for follow up recently with his hair dyed and permed. This illustrated that wavy hair and less contrast in color between the hair and the scalp can produce a much fuller look. He still have a donor reserve of 2 to 3 thousand grafts if further strip harvesting is still needed. In the extreme situations when strip procedure is no longer possible, FUE can still be done for more grafts.
